Former Superintendent of Schools Stephen Falcone is again the top wage earner in Darien in 2013, compared to 2012.

The second-highest

wage earner is the former Capt. Fred Komm in the police department. Komm retired in June and received a payout for his unused vacation and sick days.

Many police officers dominate the list because of the earnings they receive from working private duty jobs, such as traffic duty or overseeing a construction site, according to Director of Finance Kate Buch.

Those additional wages do not affect the taxpayers of Darien or the police officers' pensions.
